The writing is predictable and the twists aren't that shocking, if there's one thing that must be changed about this is the writing, because the production is amazing, it's on movies level, I'm so disappointed with the writing because this could've been made into something so much better, the story line isn't something that'll hook you especially if you're as picky as I am, and the chemistry between the leads wasn't good, at all, it was rather cheap, and so goes for the comedy and the love triangle thing with sung rok, and suzy literally existed to just be in love with the male lead for most of the series, she was given a strong role but it was just the title, she was a special agent but she wasn't that good, and as for sung gi, a stuntman can't pull all of that, he can't just fight with trained men and agents and knock them all to the ground, it was very unrealistic, I wish someone else other than suzy played this role, with different writing and someone who can actually act instead of suzy this could've been something, but the ending is something, I'll watch season 2 if there's one

I'll start with the story of this drama, honestly if you're looking for light romance with a simple story this is perfect, but it wasn't my type of story line, it's repeated and there wasn't anything unique about it, the roles of the main characters were poorly written and for the female character, poorly acted as well, her being the gullible, poor and kind high school student, and him being the cool, cold and a bad boy, the problem with these types of dramas is that it becomes annoying after a couple of episodes, especially her lingering and clinging onto him, she became quite annoying and pathetic , I had the phrase "doesn't she have any dignity?" in my head all the time, I was embarrassed for her, and of course I had the extra thoughts of what I would've done if I was in her shoes, I'd punch him in the face for fucks sake, that's the type of feeling you'll have at the second to third episode, kind of reminds me of heart strings vibes.
As for the acting, who doesn't love lee hyun woo, I really liked him in moorim school, his acting is good, the role sucked though, I didn't like how he was an ass at the beginning and for no certain reason, to his friends as well, taking into consideration that they show you how close they were in the past, he went overboard, but he's bearable, more than the female character, joy.. oh joy, I first saw this idol in clips of her drama tempted with doo hwan, to be honest with you, except for IU in my ajusshi and moon lovers I haven't seen any idol, male or female, including joy who knows how to actually act, I know that directors use them anyway for more views, but it just kills it, she acts like a child, I mean no offense but people should stick to their jobs, but I wasn't expecting anything so I wasn't disappointed, also hyun woo's acting covered it up, as for other characters, I didn't mind the existence of so ri mi (joy)'s friends, they were light, that goes for hang yul ( hyun woo)'s friends as well, except for chan young ( lee seo woon) -I just learnt about his sexual harassment when I searched up his name yikes his career is killed- anyhow, the character was quite annoying, he kept butting in ri mi and hang yul's relationship, instead of a supportive friend I saw an obsessive controlling creep, if you change the soundtrack in his scenes with so ri mi to a horror's movie's background music, my my I'd feel tense, without him hang yul would've been their producer and trust me that would've saved us, many, many episodes, I had a soft spot for CEO Lee, but CEO Yoo was a plain sellswoman, another character I thought was completely useless is Che Yuna, well she was good at being an idiot.
The music was good, the OST's and the songs so ri mi sang were actually good, but the problem with the songs in this drama is that they are all recorded at studio and then used in scenes where she's supposed to sound natural, for example she's singing on the roof and her voice is perfect, all clear without a sign of the air, it's so perfect that it's become unrealistic, what were they thinking, they could've shown us how good she is when she sings on stage or in studio..
Overall, I don't recommend you to watch this, it's nothing good, but if you want to pass time you can use this for some laughs, also if you're like me, if you just want to think about something else, I highly recommend it.

I remember watching this about 2 years ago, I liked the story a lot that I read the actual book and made my brother read it, he isn't stupid, but he's on the path of thinking that emotions decrease your intelligence, and waste time, I told him to read this book to prove him wrong, or as a way of telling him that you can love and know, they don't contradict each other
It's a very good story, I loved the male lead, I am always critical about Japanese drama because even though they own anime, it's not the same for tv and drama, I don't know why to be honest, but kdrama and even cdrama are way ahead of them, the acting is always lacking, I like the male lead but as for the other actors and actresses they weren't good, I liked the book more than the drama, it's more emotional and it has more information, they don't give away how heartless the character became after the surgery, but in the book, you'll feel his emotionless actions and thoughts, I wish this could be remade well, as a korean or a western drama, I don't feel like they gave it what it deserves

This movie is one of the good ones, I really enjoyed it, the chemistry between the main characters was amazing, and even though i'm reading the novel I think they portrayed the relationship of the youths really well.
One of the things that really attracted me in this movie was the details, the male character's place, clothes, hair and injuries really described his life, and his pain, he didn't look like a bad person even though he had all these tattoos, instead he looked lost, and dark.
As for the female character, she was portrayed in the novel as a stutterer and she acted like a child, but in the movie she's like one of these people, who knew a lot but kept it to herself.
I liked the first half of the movie better, the second half fell off for me, but overall, it was worth watching.

wasn’t a slice of life..

The problem with such dramas, is that they hold a huge responsibility, a drama about the hardships of getting married..
I didn’t expect much to be honest from the beginning, so I’m not disappointed, I’m right now watching the last episode
this drama, it’s not that bad, but it’s not good either, it’s perfect for passing time, is the perfect way to describe it, let’s start with the story, because it’s what I think is most important
I’d say this drama is poorly written, unfortunately they wanted to show us how marriage is different but I didn’t feel the difference, marriage is such a hard thing to do, it’s a huge responsibility on both partners, but instead of showing us the hardships of 2 complete strangers getting married, they stopped at the first zone of their interaction, what I mean is that they were complete strangers, until the end, they literally kept speaking formally until last episode, I mean, where’s the flow of the relationship, how are we supposed to understand and to sympathize if there are no feelings at all, she said she loves him, he cried after she left, but in the process there wasn’t any chemistry, for the actors, I’ve never seen the male actor in anything before or maybe I have but as a second character but he wasn’t really that good, either that or his role just sucks, because he’s supposed to be serious and formal but I thought that was going to change at some point, as I mentioned there wasn’t any improvement in their relationship, he’s supposed to be, weird because he was hurt in the past, but in actuality he’s just robotic, the reason I went to lengths of saying he sucks, because of the crying scene, I wasn’t affected, for the actress, I liked her in your smile has left your eyes, but I don’t like her here at all, this was supposed to be serious because the message they are trying to convey is heavy, but in my opinion she wasn’t fit for this role, you can find better, I don’t have much criticism for the “ we want to get married but it’s hard for us “ couple, I don’t remember their names, to be honest I was kind of pissed at the girl, not because she wanted to get married but because she was acting like a child sometimes, and she didn’t take her partner’s life in consideration, she was selfish, as for soo ji and the CEO, their relationship was really interesting and light, I like both of them, one of things I didn’t like is the sexual references they kept dropping, one of the reasons I enjoy kdramas more than western tv is because they focus more on the story, this felt as a desperate way to copy american shows, as for the music, marriage by moonmoon OST is better than the whole series, it’s really good and emotional, overall I’d say if you just want to pass time watch it but you can find 10 times better shows, real kdrama and melodrama, actual and bittersweet slices of life

It's one of the series I liked but at some point wanted to get on with it
The fact that he was happy at the end, despite living in a delusion says something about the human mind, about all of us, I was unhappy about how it ended at the beginning, because I feel like I wouldn't make the same decision if I was in his shoes, but again I understood him, he was happy, finally.
I wanted more of kyung hu and sung woong, their relationship was the highlight of this series, I didn't like the fact that he was confused all the time, I wanted to see him a bit more stable during the show, but we got that at the ending, the manicure case was fine, it was an enjoyable puzzle, if this was a cop genre drama it wouldn't be enough but since it's just a factor, it alright.
